Girl Friend & Other Mysteries of Love

Author: Charles P. Ries

Charles Ries reflects on the landscape of contemporary love with vulnerability, humor, and insight.
These poems are written beautifully and have such a unique and quiet voice to them.
His search to have the mystery of love answered, is answered. “I love more now, not because love
has grown within me, but because I have discovered sorrow when that which has stood faithfully near
is gone.” This book is meaningful, sad, witty, intimate, delicate, and extraordinary good. These
poems read like little elegies full of heart. An honesty, we all crave.
